Antioch High Class of 1966 graduate and Senior Class President

Don Menasco passed away peacefully in March 2026, having spent his final year at the Northern Nevada State Veterans Home near his family in Truckee, CA. He leaves behind a legacy of service and family.

Born in 1948 and raised in Antioch, CA, Don built lifelong friendships and values that guided him throughout his life. He was a 1966 graduate of Antioch High School and served as Senior Class President. He married his high school sweetheart, Shirley, and together they shared 48 years of marriage rooted in love and partnership.

Don proudly served in the United States Air Force, including a year in Vietnam. After his service, he graduated from CSU Sacramento and built his life in Sacramento and Elk Grove.  He became a successful businessman in the mortgage industry, known for his integrity and work ethic.

Above all, Don was devoted to his family. He is survived by his son Jeff; daughter-in-law Jessica; grandchildren Jack, Siena and Julia; and his brothers Tom and Ron Menasco and their families.
